The Tuscaloosa County Bar Association will begin holding its monthly free clinic at the Tuscaloosa Public Library this Thursday.

Attorneys will provide free advice on the fourth Thursday of each month in the Rotary Room at the main library branch, 1801 Jack Warner Parkway.

“When you have individuals who cannot afford representation, it’s a necessary program that allows them to have access to information and to protect their rights,” said Jeff Smith, president of the Tuscaloosa County Bar Association.

Sessions are designed to assist people with issues related to divorce, custody, visitation, domestic violence, debts, bankruptcy, foreclosure and land/tenant issues. People should bring any relevant papers and documentation to improve the quality of their assistance, Smith said.

In addition to this week’s clinic, advice will be offered on Feb. 27, March 27, April 24, May 22 and June 26. For more information, contact 205-469-2385.
